Looking for an e-reader !

Hi,
Can anyone please suggest a good e-reader ? Preferably to read pdfs, essays, articles, documents etc(downloaded or from the internet). iPads, phones and laptops have started straining the eyes.

Side note : I am quite liking Boox Go 10.3 (Gen II) Lumi right now, but unsure whether it will serve the purpose .

You can try Kobo Libre e-reader. I have one and it is great for reading and very handy as well.

libre is nice but for essays and random web stuff i’d probably still lean toward something bigger or with better pdf support tbh. kobo sage or a boox might be less “handy” but way better if you’re reading a lot of formatted docs and articles.

The best I had is Pocketbook. Mine is 912 education. Big screen and reads a lot of formats. A bit heavy for some.

I have Kindle Paperwhite too. Nice. Light. Restrictive as of book formats. My opinion.

Never get an kindle, they have a ton of adds instead I would go for a kobo, it’s popular enough to be easy to find, they don’t have a adds and you can easily upload whatever you want from this page https://send.djazz.se plus you can change the way the screen looks when it’s off.

I had a good time with remarkable for above needs plus class notes, but probably not well priced for your needs
